Mantid

Sometimes an Ancient Haunt can spawn from picking up fragments. The mob can drop between 7-8 Mogu fragments upon kill, regardless of dig type. The mob itself is dependant on player level as it scaled whenever I levelled.

Note: If you’re in a group when an Ancient Haunt pops up, the other person can loot your fragments if it’s their turn to loot. =/

Seat of Knowledge

Common items of Pandaria may be converted into Restored Artifacts. These artifacts can be turned in to Braun Bronzebeard by flying into the Seat of Knowledge, located inside to the top floor of Mogu’shan Palace in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. The crates (which are stackable) may be traded in for older fragments such as a Crate of Tol’vir Archaeology Fragments and yield the same amount of fragments if you were to dig them up yourself – between 5-9 fragments per crate. This is a great way to supplement your digs if you’re still trying to discover the Scepter of Azj’Aqir or any other rare artifact.

A max skill of archaeology (600) and player level (90 for flying) will be required to access this service.

Pristine Artifacts

From time to time, a pristine version of any given artifact can be discovered. These items are displayed in the Seat of Knowledge to learn some extra lore.
